AFTER
After Jack Frost came
leaves fall down like rain.
The grass is now stained
with multicolored leaves lain.
When you look out the windowpane,
you'll hear raking calling your name.
After Jack Frost came
expect to feel some pain
for raking causes strain
and a blister you'll gain.
You might lean on the rake as a cane.
You'll take a break if you have half a brain.
After Jack Frost came
you'll need to deadhead canes
for flowers will look wane
and foliage looks drained
for Jack Frost is not vain.
He causes autumn bane.
After Jack Frost came
there might be some rain
on the worn weather vane
then running down the drain
where drains into the rain
barrel filling up with rain.
After Jack Frost came
shorter days now reign.
Trees, now leafless and plain
outlined against the gray sky stained.
Snow flurries mixed with rain
come after Jack Frost came.
After Jack Frost came
snow falls down like rain
outside the windowpane.
I'm under an afghan, lain.
Seed catalogs call my name.
Dreaming of spring I feign.

What comes after life?
There's everlasting life
for those who believe in Christ.
It's too late after you die
to believe then decide
for death is a final goodbye.
Bye to your loved ones
when your life is done,
then deciding is gone.
Bye to eternal life
free from damning strife
which pierces like a knife.
Please, make the right decision today
before death comes to call you away.
“I believe in Christ” is all you need say.
If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Christ,”
and believe in your heart*
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved.
Romans 10:13
* NIV note: The heart is not merely emotions and affections, but also the intellect and will. (Copied)
Believing is a personal choice to believe and confess. There’s a simple ABC formula: Acknowledge, Believe, Confess. An act of the intellect, will, emotions and affections.
